The largest periodontal study in Europe shows that periodontal treatment outcomes improve significantly when daily Lumoral treatment is added to the routine of periodontal home care.

In 54% of Lumoral users, the gingival inflammation index (BOP), an indicator of inflammation, was reduced to healthy levels (BOP less than 10%). Two out of three (67%) patients treated with Lumoral had at least half the number of deep gingival pockets compared to baseline. This result was significantly better than in the control group. Four patients in the Lumoral group had no deep gingival pockets at the end of the period.

The study found consistent findings and clear differences between the groups. In subjects of the Lumoral group, a reduction in plaque, a reduction in gum bleeding, and a reduction in gingival pockets were observed.

The study found that light-activated Lumoral treatment improves oral health in 24-hour care home residents as part of a regular oral hygiene routine. The Lumoral group had better oral hygiene as well as better oral moisture (objectively and subjectively assessed).

In 2022, Hanna Lähteenmäki, a Lumoral researcher and President of the Finnish Association of Dental Hygienists, published the results of a pilot study showing that Lumoral treatment has also shown promising results in the treatment of dental implant-related infections. According to Lähteenmäki, the amount of plaque and gum bleeding in patients were significantly reduced compared to baseline, and there were no side effects associated with Lumoral. In this study, the effect of Lumoral on the inflammatory marker aMMP-8, which indicates periodontal disease, has been of interest.

Lumoral, a dual light-based therapy, is a medical device for the treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis and the prevention of tooth decay. The method effectively removes plaque and prevents the formation of tartar.

A case report on a 78-year-old male patient with vascular dementia found that Lumoral antibacterial treatment was effective in eliminating harmful oral bacteria while also treating advanced gum disease. Recovery from severe periodontal disease over a 13-month follow-up period was excellent, the study reveals. Oral hygiene improved markedly and the number of infected gum pockets decreased significantly. In addition, clinical adherence improved. Only one infected periodontal pocket remained. This can be argued to be at least partly due to occlusal trauma, the researchers point out.

A plaque study carried out by students of oral hygiene at the Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, in Helsinki, found that using Lumoral twice a week is also beneficial for people in good health. The study also revealed that biofilm reduction was significantly greater in the experimental group of Lumoral users than in the control group.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of the antimicrobial Lumoral method in reducing oral biofilm as part of oral self-care in healthy volunteers aged 18-70 years.
